Dreams— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make the answer more concise and natural, correct minor grammar, and add a linking phrase to connect the two ideas. Limit to 2–3 sentences and use varied vocabulary (e.g., "usually", "vivid").

Ví dụ: I usually forget my dreams soon after waking, but if a dream is very vivid or emotional, I can remember it for a long time.

Gợi ý: Combine the sentences to sound more natural and correct grammar. Use linking words such as "because" or "and" to explain why, and avoid repetition. Keep it to 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Occasionally I share funny or interesting dreams with my husband or close friends because I find unusual stories entertaining and I’m curious about other people’s experiences.

Gợi ý: Structure the response with a clear topic sentence, then give contrasting reasons using linking words (e.g., "however", "because") and provide a specific example to support your view. Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: To some extent, yes — dreams can reflect our current thoughts and emotions. However, I don’t think every dream has a deep meaning because many are just random reflections of events from the day, for example, dreaming about a meeting after a stressful workday.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence, then give concise, specific examples and explain how you plan to achieve them using linking words (e.g., "for example", "by"). Keep answers natural and within 2–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: Absolutely — I want to achieve my goals and ambitions. For example, I hope to achieve a high AL score and advance my teaching career by studying consistently and gaining more classroom experience.

× Sometimes, most of the time I forgot my dream suddenly after waking up.

✓ Sometimes, most of the time I suddenly forget my dreams after waking up.

The original sentence uses past tense 'forgot' while the rest of the context describes a habitual action (general experience). Use the simple present 'forget' for habitual situations. Also change 'my dream' to plural 'my dreams' or keep singular with 'a dream'; plural is more natural for repeated occurrences. Move 'suddenly' before the verb for natural adverb placement.

× However, if a dream is particularly vivid, unusual and or emotional, I can remember it for quite a long time.

✓ However, if a dream is particularly vivid, unusual, or emotional, I can remember it for quite a long time.

The phrase 'and or' is incorrect. Use either 'and' or 'or' depending on meaning; here 'or' is appropriate because any one of those qualities (vivid, unusual, or emotional) can make the dream memorable. Also add a comma before 'or' in a list for clarity.

× And also curious about all those people's dreams, especially when they have unusual stories to share.

✓ I am also curious about other people's dreams, especially when they have unusual stories to share.

The original fragment lacks a subject and verb, making it incomplete. Add 'I am' to form a full sentence. 'All those people's' is wordy and slightly awkward; 'other people's' is more natural. Ensure subject pronoun 'I' is present for clarity.

× To some extent, yes.

✓ To some extent, yes.

No correction needed; sentence is grammatical. (Included to indicate no change.)

× I think dreams can sometimes reflect our thoughts, emotions, and concerns in real life.

✓ I think dreams can sometimes reflect our thoughts, emotions, and concerns in real life.

No correction needed; sentence correctly uses present tense to express a general belief.

× However, I don't believe any dream has a deep and mysterious meaning.

✓ However, I don't believe any dream has a deep or mysterious meaning.

The original 'deep and mysterious' is grammatical but using 'or' clarifies that a dream may lack either quality; if the speaker means both, 'and' is acceptable. Suggested change improves clarity but is optional.

× Sometimes they are simply a result of what we experience during the day.

✓ Sometimes they are simply the result of what we experience during the day.

Both versions are grammatical. Replacing 'a result' with 'the result' makes the sentence a bit more natural when referring to dreams in general as the outcome of daytime experiences.

× Absolutely, I mean my goals and ambitions in life.

✓ Absolutely. I mean my goals and ambitions in life.

The original uses a comma splice joining two independent clauses with a comma. Replace the comma with a period (or use 'I mean,' with following clause) to correct sentence structure. This makes 'Absolutely.' an interjection and the next sentence an explanation.

× For example, I would like to achieve a high AL score and continue developing my teaching career.

✓ For example, I would like to achieve a high AL score and to continue developing my teaching career.

The original is understandable and mostly correct. To improve parallelism after 'would like,' use infinitive forms for both verbs: 'to achieve' and 'to continue.' Adding 'to' before 'continue' improves grammatical parallelism.

× I believe that with enough effort and determination, many dreams can become reality.

✓ I believe that with enough effort and determination, many dreams can become a reality.

Either 'become reality' or 'become a reality' can be used; adding the article 'a' before 'reality' is slightly more idiomatic when referring to individual dreams becoming an instance of reality. No change in tense or modality needed.
